Care for our Natural Resources

 "Past, Present and Future of Conservation Districts"
Our History
Our Mission
Soil and Water Districts began in 1935 when the U.S. was in the middle of the worst man made ecological disaster - The Dust Bowl.  
The Wood SWCD was chartered in 1949. 
Dedicated to the care of the environment through responsible land and water policies, conservation practices, development, oversight and environmental education.
Our Vision
To be recognized as the lead Wood County Agency providing innovative tools to protect natural resources and enhance the quality of life for present and future generations.

Current Event & Programs 
Welcome to Sarah St. John, the newest member of the Wood SWCD team. She will be working as a District Technician and comes to us from the Wood County Farm Service Agency, where she was the Conservation Reserve Program Technician since 2016.  Sarah is originally from Woodville and currently lives in Martin with her husband Kyle, and basset hound Daisy. Outside of work, they spend most of their time on home improvement projects! With what little time is left, Sarah enjoys spending time outdoors hiking, kayaking, horseback riding and spending time with friends and family.
